From Times staff and wire reports

A man arrested by the FBI for passing information to the Soviets told a newspaper that he reported his dealings with the KGB to U.S. officials soon after he returned from an 11-day stay in Moscow earlier this year. Frank Arnold Nesbitt, 44, was arrested at a hotel in suburban Washington and charged with communication and delivery and the attempt to communicate and deliver unauthorized information to agents of the Soviet government, the FBI said. Nesbitt, in an interview with the Washington Post published in today’s editions, said he tried to fool the KGB, did not tell Soviet agents anything useful and wanted to be a double agent for the U.S. government.
